Tuition
Registration
You must satisfy all of your admission requirements before you can register. One of the common requirements will be:
- Arrange for an official transcript, in a sealed (closed) envelope, to be sent directly from your institution to the Graduate Studies and Postdoctoral Affairs Office, Needles Hall. The official transcript must show all courses and marks, and the awarding of your Bachelor's degree (or Master’s degree for PhD students).
Becoming Fees Arranged (paying your tuition)
You must pay your fees in full or use a Promissory Note to pay your fees from the funding you will be receiving by the Fees Arranged deadline.
You will not be able to become Fees Arranged until you have been charged tuition. Tuition will be showing on Quest in late July.
All of your funding (TA and scholarship) will appear in Quest as Anticipated Aid.
- Your scholarship will be automatically applied to the tuition you owe.
- Only amounts exceeding fees will be refunded. See Finance's web site for information on Refunds for Scholarships, Bursaries & Awards.
- If you are using part of your TA to pay your tuition, you will have to complete a Promissory note to let Finance know to do that.
- If you are not using the whole, or any part of your TA to pay tuition, then your TA payment will be directly deposited into your bank account in four equal payments on the last Friday of each month.
To view your tuition account balance, complete the following steps:
- login to Quest
- select Finances
- select Account inquiry
- select the term (i.e. winter, spring, fall)
Courses Offered in fall 2020 & winter 2021
- After you have become ‘Fees Arranged’ you will be able to register for your courses starting the first week of August.
- There will be space in all classes for everyone. If you are not able to register until September that is okay.
